So I have had chickens for a while and heard of the Rhodebars and I want to breed some myself. What breeds of chickens would make Rhodebars and how many generations would it take to get them.

If you just want to create a bird that looks like a Rhode bar get a black sex-link rooster from which you know the father was a red based bird like a Rhode island red or new Hampshire and breed it back to a Rhode island red hen. Some the chicks that hatch will be red barred and just breed the males back to Rhode island hens again, and after that breed only the red barred birds togethor for a couple generations or back cross to Rhode island hens every other time .
